Thanks for the additional info.
Wasn't the Epiphany at one time celebrated as a bigger feast than Christmas? Can't remember where I heard it. Maybe it was my mother telling me that when my grandmother was growing up in Ireland, they gave and received presents on the Epiphany.
Well, just one more proof (as if one were needed) that the American bishops, for the most part, aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
In most Catholic countries, Ephiphany was the day that presents were given - it still is in Latin countries such as Spain. Our tradition here was probably shaped by German and, of course, Protestant practice. I wonder if the influx of Latin American Catholics (who still celebrate Día de los Reyes) will eventually bring a change to our current non-celebration of the feast. I hope so!
